Rick Tocchet Doubles Up, And He Only Won Half The Pot!

This was a crazy pot. We saw three players limp in from from early position and a late-position player raise to 3,000.

The small blind missed the raise and announced "call," thinking that he was just calling the big blind. He was made to call the 3,000 and apparently that priced in all the limpers as well as the big blind, so six players saw a flop.

Flop {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

The action was checked to Rick who moved all in for 5,500, a bet that was called by the player next to act. The original raiser then moved all in for 20,000 and that bet was also called by the player in the middle.

The cards were Rick,{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} , middle player {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, original raiser {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and the river {6-Spades} made a straight for two of the players.
